>Is it possible to, using the format property to limit the input into a textbox? For instance Only three letters - a Y for Yes, an N for No, and an M for Maybe - and have it not lose focus if one of those are not entered. I know how to do it in the Valid method, but was wondering if there was some magic to use in the Format property, or something

off topic (a little bit)
There is a widly unknown problem with input (on any element). This is [CTRL]+0 (zero). Whatever you do with FORMAT, this is a valid entry, - NULL-. So this sets the value of the object to NULL if your controlsource can not deal with it you have a nice little error
do not forget to add to base classes KeyPress event something like
LPARAMETERS;
tnKeyCode,;
tnShiftAltCtrl
IF tnShiftAltCtrl=2 AND tnKeyCode=48 THEN
NODEFAULT
ENDIF

M for Maybe is NULL, because NULL is in boolean the
I don't know. This is the way all subsequent boolean logic works.
